Despite previous requests, the overgrown hedge is still blocking the pavement. The hedge needs to be seriously cut back to ensure the pavement can be used. Many people having to walk on road around parked cars. Appears that no action has yet been taken by BCC/MTC/resident to resolve. Please action.

  • The report has been passed to the Highway Officer, who will carry out an inspection of the issue within 10 working days, emergency defects will be corrected or made safe at the time of the inspection, if reasonably practicable to do so. In this context, making safe may constitute displaying warning notices, coning‐off or fencing‐off to protect the public from the defect or other suitable action. If the inspection team cannot make safe the defect at the time of inspection, then they will instigate the relevant emergency call procedures to ensure appropriate resources are mobilised to make the defect safe.

    There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy.

  • Just to advise that people walking up and down Gypsy Lane, incl. school children, are forced to walk on road, and around parked cars, to get past this section.

    Still open, via questionnaire

  • Given the pavement is heavily used, esp. during school hours with children/young people going to/returning from school along Gypsy Lane, and having to walk along road, it's concerning to note that neither Bucks County Council or Marlow Town Castle (despie multiple requests since early 2024 and direct follow-up) appear to be bothered to arrange for the simple task of the hedge to be fully cut back.
